"This book provides a detailed technological and typological discussion and interpretation of the Late Paleoindian lithic technology of the Cummins Site Complex of Lake Minong, Thunder Bay, Ontario. The author presents regional comparisons of the Cummins assemblages with other pertinent Late Paleoindian lithic assemblages to evaluate the utility of the "Lakehead Paleoindian Complex" as a useful analytical and interpretive construct. Significant data on Paleoindian and early Archaic quarrying activity and reduction strategies form a key part of the interpretations of the Cummins site. The presence and documentation of these activities in a Late Paleoindian context represents a significant contribution to a little known aspect of behaviors associated with lithic technology of this time period."--Abstract of review by John E.

Picky eating. Obesity. Malnutrition. Cutting through current anxiety and hype, Small Bites challenges preconceptions about the biological basis of children’s eating habits, gendered and parent-focused responsibility, and the notion of naturally determined children’s foods. Tina Moffat draws on extensive anthropological research to explore the biological and sociocultural determinants of child nutrition and feeding. Are children naturally picky eaters? How can school meal programs help to address food insecurity and malnutrition? How has the industrial food system commodified children’s food and shaped children’s bodies? Small Bites investigates how children are fed in school and at home in Nepal, France, Japan, Canada, and the United States to reveal the ways child nutrition reflects broader cultural approaches to childhood and food. This important work also sets a course for food policy, schools, communities, and caregivers to improve children’s food and nutrition equitably and sustainably.
